Look at all these snails! All of those little black dotts in the picture are snails of all different sizes. The numbers have been steadily increasing since I've had the fish. 2 questions: Where do they come from? Are they going to take over my aquarium?

What happens when you spread the algae out into the water column?

My tank has a ton of alge building up on the front of the glass. What's the best way to prevent/take care of that. It kind of makes my tank look disgusting[emoji17].

I'm so confused ?

Harmless?

I noticed this snail looking thing on the front of my tank. Anyone have an idea what it is or how it got there?

Oh, dang it! The guy at Petco said it didn't matter what type of Cory it was! I have 3 of the same and 2 that are different. My sterbai happens to be one of them. Thank you all for the advice!

My sterbai Cory is the busiest fish in my aquarium. Goes up and down, forward and backward, over and over again. Almost 24/7. In fact, everytime I look he's doing it, and on the same side of the tank everytime. I've never seen it resting. Is there something wrong with this fish? Is it...

Thank you! I will do that ASAP. I figured the deeper the better, for the roots.. should have looked that up.

Is my light to bright!? I think my plants might be dying. They look a little dark.

How do I do that?

couple of pics just after adding the cory's! They're lovin it! ... I think.

anubias, Amazon swords, and a Java Fern. Adding some Cory's in a day or two. I was thinking about 4-6 Cory's. Thanks for the help people!

Thank you! This is a huge help. I knew about gradually adding fish and I know I have to let the water cycle through for about 2 weeks before adding any, but do I need to do the same with the plants? Or can I start adding plants whenever? Patience is a virtue, but im excited to get this thing...

Looking for some plants to add to this 55 gal. Tank that do not require C02 (don't think I'm ready for that yet). The substrate is pool filter sand. I'm also looking to get some Cory's, neons, tetras, and mollies so advice on the fish would help to! I grew up with aquariums but never got into...
